How do you clean a trilam polyethylene hull?

   Hi all,
It's my first time caring for a Topaz Vibe where the hull is predominantly made of trilam polyethylene. I'd like to give it a good scrub/wash before the season starts. What kind of soap do I use? does it matter?

Thanks,

-Anibal

	PE is very durable, as long as you don't use strong chemicals anything will be fine (and even most strong chemicals will probably have little or no effect TBH).

	TBH its probably more important to be concerned about where the soap or whatever is going to drain to. If its going to drain into the lake or see you want to pick a cleaner that is reasonably safe with wildlife.

	Try a jet wash with plain water if you have one. Amazing what a bit of pressure does.
